Modern Shed Designs

At Sunrise Structures, we believe your outdoor living space should not only be functional, but also a haven where you can unwind.

To reflect your personal style, we offer a range of customizable modern shed designs that enhance the aesthetics of your backyard.

We provide sheds that look like a dream getaway——while providing utility (all year round).

So, whether you need extra storage, a home office, or a cozy cabin retreat, we’ve got it all!

Modern Shed Designs

How Can I Make My Backyard Look Modern?

Ready to modernize your backyard?

An important step to achieving a modern backyard look is integrating a shed that suits your taste and lifestyle.

Our stylish structures are designed with versatility in mind.

In other words, you have an array of design choices: from Utility and Garden Sheds to Lofted Garden, Garden Oasis, and Green House Sheds.

Modern Shed Designs Options

Our Shed Style Options

Our barns are available in Lofted or Mini styles, while our cabins come as Gable, Log Gable, or Lofted designs.

Our garages showcase Lofted and Gable designs, and for those seeking a touch of tranquility, we offer a rustic Pavilion.

To accommodate the growing trend of remote work, we also provide intriguing home offices such as the Gable Casita and Studio shed.

Lofted Roof Shed Styles

The term “lofted” means exactly what it sounds like. Our lofted sheds have extra overhead storage (a loft) for all your gardening essentials.

Each lofted shed, barn, cabin, and garage is designed with a gambrel roof—reminiscent of Dutch colonial-style barns.

The look of these sheds leans more classic than modern.

But depending on your taste, they will still modernize your home and landscaping.

Gable Roof Shed Styles

When you hear the term “gable”, think of the style of your home’s roofing—two clean lines that form an upside down “V” shape.

Unlike lofted sheds, our gable sheds look more like tiny houses than sheds.

For instance, the Utility Shed, Garden Shed, Green House, Gable Garage, and Gable Casita.

Sheds finished with gable roofing include our most modern styles.

The Gable Casita and Garden Shed particularly bring modernized office space or storage to your yard.

Sloped Roof Shed Styles

We build only one shed with a sloped roof, the Studio home office shed.

This type of roofing comes with different names—skillion roof, shed roof, or single-slope roof are some common names for this style.

The Studio single-slope roof starts higher at the front of the shed, then slopes down at a slight angle towards the back of the building. It is quite literally a single slope.

Whether you use the Studio shed as a home office or a hobby shop, the single-slope roof is the modern addition your yard needs.

Our Shed Series

Most of our sheds have three levels of customizable features.

We categorize your ability to customize within the Value, Pro, and Elite series.

The Value series provides the basic structure. This is a high-quality shed, but it doesn’t include as many custom options as the Pro or Elite series.

The Pro series comes more outfitted, including custom windows and accent trimming.

The Elite series represents the top tier of shed features. This series offers dormers, corbels, and other accessories to really bring your modernized shed to life.

Modern Shed Designs, Outside

How Do I Make My Shed Look Good on the Outside?

Our modern shed designs are not a one-size-fits-all solution.

We believe every homeowner has unique needs and preferences, and we are committed to providing solutions that match those needs perfectly.

So, how do you make your shed look good on the outside? Well, the design is up to you (and what shed series you choose).

Shed Sizes

Our sheds come in many sizes from a smaller 8×12 backyard storage option to our largest 14×40 shed.

So, whether you want plenty of extra storage, or just enough room for a personalized hangout, you can find a shed size that’s right for you.

Shed Roofing Materials

We offer fourteen stunning colors for metal roofing and three colors for shingle roofing to match your home’s aesthetic.

Pick from multiple roofing colors so your shed matches your home—or stands out from your landscaping.

Shed Siding Options

For siding, we use DuraTemp® painted siding, available in 16 colors.

DuraTemp® siding stands up to weathering and doesn’t fade over time. This keeps your shed in style for many years beyond the purchase date.

Shed Trim Options

Accent color stains for trim are available in Dark Oak, Rustic Cedar, Natural, and Butternut.

Add accent trim to accentuate the style of your shed, and make it a statement piece in your backyard.

Custom Shed Doors

Our custom doors range from sturdy Wooden Doors, sleek Fiberglass Doors, and efficient Roll-up Doors to elegant Garage and Carriage House Doors.

Simply put, you have a wide selection of entryway options when you’re designing a modern shed for your lawn.

Custom Shed Windows

Our windows come in various sizes with White, Brown or Black aluminum finishing.

For Elite series sheds, choose from 8’ or 14’ Roof Dormers, which add more character to the outside of your shed—while bringing more light inside.

Custom Shed Exterior Options

For a hint of sophistication, consider adding our custom exterior accents.

All shed series can be enhanced with Cupolas, Keystone Accents, Flower Boxes, Timber-framed or Vinyl Porches, Pergolas, or Roof Awnings.

On the other hand, the Elite series includes dormers and corbels for that finishing touch your modernized shed needs.
